My kitty (she is 3 this year) has a little red bump on her bum... ?

Question

I just noticed this today when she was walking on the counter. Should I take her to the vet or is it just irritation and it will go away.... THANKS :0)

Answer 1

The red bump could be a tick bite? And since some ticks like the deer tick can cause a very serious problem such as lyme disease it's best to take your cat to see the vet.

Answer 2

the red dot could have been caused by the cat getting a little wet and then the fur near her skin staying damp. This happened to my dog on the same spot:)  I don't think its anything serious.

Answer 3

could it be ringworm? ring the vet and ask advice =]

Answer 4

Only a vet check up can tell you for certain what is wrong.  It would be better to have it checked out now before it becomes a bigger problem.

Hope she is OK.
